Clifftop Massages and Cocktails in the Sauna
From a 24-hour butler service to exclusive spa access, Design Hotels™ presents three hotels offering creative ways to indulge their guests. Close to the most vibrant shopping district of Berlin lies Wolfgang Loock's Hotel Q!. As diverse as its home city, the hotel can transform its whole underground spa area into an event space. Located in the cultural center of Bilbao, the major premise of Hotel Miró is to create a comfortable atmosphere for their guests. As well as having privileged access to the hotel's courtesy bar, they can also book the spa area for private use. In Bali, Alila Villas Uluwatu offers a range of bespoke services reflecting their ethos that every traveler should be respected as an individual. These range from lessons in traditional Balinese dancing to tailormade spa treatments.
www.designhotels.com/extraordinaryservicesHotel Q!, Berlin, GermanySituated just off West Berlin's grand boulevard Kurfürstendamm, Hotel Q! not only offers futuristic design and innovative room concepts but also unforgettable services. Created from the ideas of owner and nightlife impresario Wolfgang Loock and the renowned architecture studio GRAFT, the 77-room hotel sets new service standards for guests. Loock strongly believes that although guests have a growing desire for individuality on the one hand, they also have a need to experience traditional family-values such as protection, friendliness, reliability and warmth. The extraordinary services at Hotel Q! reflect this philosophy perfectly. For instance, local guides offer to take guests to their personal hot spots of Berlin and the chef is happy to satisfy the traveler's craving for 'mom's stew' at any time. Furthermore, the entire spa area can be used as an events space, transforming the sauna into a bar and the treatments area into a lounge.

Before exploring Bilbao, its culture and its people, guests of the 50-room property can read up on all that is to know about the city in the hotel's own library. Guests also have exclusive access to a 'Courtesy Bar', where drinks and snacks are available throughout the day, free of charge. After a full day out and about, guests can enjoy the amenities of the spa totally undisturbed. In order to guarantee maximum comfort and privacy, the spa area is exclusively reserved for the guest during the treatment. Here they are spoiled for choice and can choose from the 'Acqua Wellness area' with its hydro massage bathtub, steam bath and hydro massage shower or sample a variety of treatments in the 'Wellness Suite'.
www.designhotels.com/miro_hotel Alila Villas Uluwatu, Bali, IndonesiaPersonalised services at the all-villas resort Alila Villas Uluwatu begin even before a guest sets foot on Indonesian ground. Before arrival, guests are assigned a personal host and asked for a list of personal preferences so the staff can cater to their needs in the best possible way. Once on site, guests can choose between three distinct service levels. Each level is characterised by a different involvement of the personal host with the guest. Whereas the privacy of the guests is guaranteed at all times on all service levels, at the Indulgent Service Level, for example, the personal host proactively offers activities according to each traveler's interest, while at the Private Service Level the host interacts with the guest only upon request. They can also pick from six different pillow types and numerous spa treatments on a clifftop plateau - everything to make the stay at Alila Villas Uluwatu an unforgettable experience.
